Problem we are trying to address with this tutorial ~ Given:Large pictures posted to this forum from other locations (unlike our albums) don't conform to sizing constraints and cause thread stretching or non optimal reading for members here:***

Our suggested Solution:Use on the fly Tinypic web based program to take over sized pictures from your computer or the URL from the web and convert it with ease to conform to T&TTT size friendly appearance so as to not stretch threads so posts will be able to be read with ease. The easy solution code can then be cut and pasted into posts on this forum with a uniformity of pictures that will resolve the thread stretching problem that causes reading issues.

We would like all pictures to be in this zone of sizing:Our T&TTT album Max picture sizing is as follows:Maximum image width (pixel): 820Maximum image height (pixel): 652

The Tinypic program has these options that best fit our goal sizing below:When using Tinypic please choose one of these options for results"Message Board (640x480)" or Website/email (320x240) option
***

This website is more intuitive than detailed explicative.
Basic use flow of the Tinypic URL1) Basically you choose pictures from your computer or on another website first, by selecting the radial button.
2) Then you choose the size with the pull down arrow.
(Message Board 640x480)3) Then you click the uPload button.
4) Finally you choose the proper formatted resulting jpg URL to use here on the forum.
(IMG Code for Forums & Message Boards)

Example:Say a forum member wants this big in size Teardrop picture from on the web to be on our forum.
Here is an example of what can be done: picture = 1600 x 1200 - 315k - jpg
This picture is Way tOO BIG and an eye sore for many as it shifts the post to the right way too far.
Click on the link below to see how big it is:(Left to let you see it comes from an off site link)http://www.jessicaryanphotography.com/D ... 125852.jpgThis is Too Big & NO JOY for our place on the web

So the person just has to use this simple 3 step process to get a pic on our web in conformance.
Go tohttp://tinypic.comAfter using the URL option and cutting and pasting the above gigantic jpg link into the top box of TinyPic
and then selecting
"Message Board (640x480)" or Website/email (320x240) option & click the UPload button
You will have a few result choices and Ichose the "IMG Code for Forums & Message Boards" option. But you can see the Website/email (320x240) below.
You will be given code that you can then plug into our forum with ease as you would any picture using the

...in addition, we would ask anyone posting any pics, regardless of where they come from to reduce the size to a maximum of 800x600 or much preferably 640x480...most photo handling software can do this for you...my preference is from www.irfanview.com ...if you open an account and upload to photobucket, it will resize them during the upload and even provide the proper tags for posting on our forum board....thank you.........................
